If you do not enter a telephone number for dial-string, the software uses
the first number in the dial number list.
The dial string must be a number in the dial number list.

Configuring Bandwidth-On-Demand
When the system detects traffic congestion on a port, you can enable
bandwidth-on-demand to automatically activate more lines from a dial
pool or from another path assigned to the same port.
You specify the bandwidth that a port should operate at normally, then
define the maximum amount of bandwidth above this setting that the
port can have.
Bandwidth-on-demand only works with dial-on-demand. To use
bandwidth-on-demand, you must have multiple phone numbers in the
dial number list. The first number is for the primary line. If you need more
bandwidth, the port dials the second number in the list, then the
following numbers in succession if required.
See "Working with Dial Number Lists" on page 113 for more information
about dial number lists.
To configure bandwidth-on-demand, follow these steps:
1 Enable bandwidth-on-demand and specify the amount of additional
bandwidth to allocate for a port using:
SETDefault !<port> -PORT BODIncrLimit = <kbps>
The bridge/router allocates additional bandwidth in increments equal to
the Kbps you specify. Maximum total bandwidth equals the
BODIncrLimit plus the normal bandwidth.
2 Specify the conditions that activate bandwidth-on-demand using:
SETDefault !<port> -PORT BODTHreshold = <%>(0–100)
The increase or decrease in bandwidth is based on a percentage of the
outgoing traffic rate. Bandwidth is increased when the outgoing traffic
rate exceeds the percentage of the current port bandwidth. Bandwidth is
decreased when the rate of traffic runs below the specified percentage.
For example, normal available bandwidth is 64 Kbps and you set
BODTHreshold to 50%. To activate another line, traffic would have to
